Tiger Woods... season over.

Tiger Woods has shut it down for the rest of the professional golf season, bringing into question his playing future as the best golfer of his generation will be away from the sport for over a year when, and if, he returns.

Woods, who is recovering from multiple back surgeries that have kept him out of action for nearly a year, hinted earlier this year that he might not play this season but it was finally made official on Tuesday.

The PGA Championship an-nounced that Woods had withdrawn from the July 28-31 event at Baltusrol, marking the first time he will miss all four majors in a calendar year, while his agent confirmed his client is done for the season.

“Not going to play in the ‘15/’16 season. We will assess this Fall when to come back and play for the ‘16/’17 season,” Mark Steinberg said in an email to Reuters after Golf Channel had first reported the news.

The 2016-17 PGA Tour season starts in mid-October in Napa, California, which marks the start of a seven-tournament run through November before the schedule resumes in January.

No one, not even Woods, can possibly know how the former world number one will fare when he makes his PGA Tour return after an absence that dates back to the Wyndham Championship in August 2015, where he tied for 10th place.

Woods, famously, used to say he would never tee it up in a golf tournament unless he thought he was capable of winning and he is clearly being cautious about rushing his return to a game that has since seen a handful of young stars crowd the top of the world rankings.

Woods, who made 11 starts on the PGA Tour last season and just seven the season before, had his first back surgery in early 2014.

A second microdisectomy was performed last September with a follow-up procedure six weeks later.

Last month, Woods indicated that he might not return to competition this year, saying he needed to be patient during his recovery.
